Chapter 179: The Immortal King's Pursuit Part 2
“I understand now, the height of Senior Li probably represents the most towering peak in the long river of countless ages... He is the embodiment of the culmination of the path of chess!”
He looked up, his eyes fixed on the small mountain village, his heart filled with unwavering resolve.
“I must take Senior Li as my master!”
Fire Spirit and the others immediately continued onward.
They landed in front of the small mountain village and entered it.
Once again stepping into the small mountain village, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning both had complex expressions, feeling a surge of emotions in their hearts.
It turned out that the small mountain village they had entered and exited numerous times was actually so formidable.
To think that it had caused the Immortal King to desperately seek it for countless ages, leaving behind so many shadows!
Thinking that every step they took fell into a perfect game, their delicate bodies involuntarily began to tremble.
At this moment.
Inside the small courtyard.
Li Fan was drinking tea, feeling somewhat bored.
He had no idea how Fire Spirit and the others were faring.
He was quite confident in his own skills at chess; after all, it had been honed under the “torture” of the System.
“Qianning and the others have returned to report.”
At this time, a knocking sound was heard.
Mu Qianning and the others had returned!
Li Fan immediately showed a hint of joy and said, “Come in.”
Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, along with the other two, finally pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing that they hadn’t suffered any harm, Li Fan finally put his mind at ease and asked,
“Good to have you back. How did this chess battle turn out?”
Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit bowed deeply and said,
“Thank you, Senior Li, for your guidance. Young Master Jiang Li defeated that Chen Xuanbei!”
“It’s just a pity that Chen Xuanbei got away.”
Li Fan felt somewhat gratified upon hearing this.
After all, he was on quite good terms with Fire Spirit and the others, and he couldn’t bear to see them lose to the enemy.
“Reporting to Senior, in the end... Jiang Li evolved that killing formation!”
Jiang Li spoke with utmost respect!
Li Fan nodded and said,
“It’s fine, let the evolution occur. The path of chess requires one to hold no desire for victory or defeat, yet one must also possess the ability to subdue the enemy.”
“In short, ‘the heart of a Bodhisattva with the hands of King Yama.’
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li pondered deeply, realizing that the senior was subtly giving him pointers once again!
He couldn’t help himself and, with a thud, knelt on the ground, saying,
“Senior, my heart is utterly determined on the path of chess, my life’s efforts are dedicated to it. Please take me as your disciple...”
“As long as I can serve by your side day and night, Jiang Li will have no regrets even in death!”
His earnestness reached an extreme!
Now, more than ever, he understood exactly what kind of existence stood before him!
Senior Li represented the summit, the ultimate pursuit of his life’s path of chess!
For instance, there were a few good-looking golden birds, pretty butterflies, and some odd ones, like silkworm babies!
Pigs... now, he didn’t have any of those, but he did indeed have a dog!
A Little Black Dog!
Jiang Li was also nervously watching Li Fan, thinking to himself that things had gone awry; the master must be angry!
He couldn’t help but clench his teeth and say,
“Master... Junior Brother Wu Dade left the Sect Gate for my sake, he didn’t mean any offense to Master. Please allow him to stay in the village, even if as a beggar...”
Even at the risk of angering Master, he couldn’t ignore Wu Dade.
After all, Wu Dade had saved his life before.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan merely smiled and responded,
“Where is there any offense... As the old saying goes, ‘Teach without discriminating,’ no matter what the interest may be, be it raising pigs or dogs or calligraphy and painting, there’s no distinction of high or low.”
“As it happens, I do have a little dog that has been left without care. So, you stay and raise the dog for me!”
Anyway, first things first: complete the System’s tasks!
Just get the requisite number of people for now!
Mainly because it’s just too difficult for oneself to take disciples in a world of cultivators, where anyone with a bit of ambition goes off to pursue immortality.
Those willing to come to this remote mountainous area to become my disciples are truly few and far between!
And those who are available, like Lu Rang and Long Zixuan, have rather special hobbies!
This Wu Dade, he also has a unique interest!
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade immediately kowtowed in rapid succession,
“Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!”
He was wildly ecstatic!
Jiang Li, upon hearing this, was also overjoyed; he had not at all expected the master to agree!
That’s great!
“Thank you, Master!”
They all spoke up one after another.
Li Fan smiled and said,
“No need for such formalities, get up now.”
“Da De, just wait for a moment. I’ll go get that dog for you.”
He stood up and returned to the study.
After all, his disciples were mortals, and he didn’t want to spook them by bringing out a dog in front of everyone.
With a mere thought, a little black dog appeared at his feet, coming forth from the System.
Around the neck of the Little Dog, there was even a chain.
“Wuu wuu—”
As soon as the Little Dog appeared, it immediately lay down by Li Fan’s feet, licked his shoes with its tongue, and wagged its tail nonstop, showing its devotion and loyalty!
“Follow me.”
Li Fan smiled and led the Little Dog out of the study.
“Da De, come over. From now on, you will be raising this dog for me!”
Upon hearing this, all the disciples in the courtyard turned to look.
But when they saw the Little Black Dog.... everyone was instantly shocked!
